Kody discovered his love for animals at a young age but unfortunately, he can no longer share that joy with his mother. Dawn Marie Thurston tragically lost her life in a car accident. She was just 29 years old at the time of her death. She was the third wife of Doc Antle. 

Of the many controversies that Kody's father is always surrounded with, he found himself in another controversy that he lied about his wife. People hated Doc for lying that Dawn was his only wife. The reasons behind his doing that are unknown but few speculated that he wanted to gain some sympathy by doing that.

The Backlash Surrounding The Show Tiger King

The Tiger King was a hugely popular show when it first came out. The show featuring people like Joe Exotic, Doc Antle, Carole Baskin, and also Kody Antle has faced a lot of hate from the people and media alike.

The Tiger King hate mostly revolves around the same thing mentioned in the documentary's name i.e.,  Tigers. People didn't like the way the big cats were treated in the show. 

The show also didn't do well among the LGBTQ community as the show was labeled as transphobic. The hate from the community came after a trans man Saff Saffery was not addressed in the right way.

The documentary was considered over-the-top by many. The people involved in the show have also been part of many rumors and controversies which didn't help to improve the image of the show any better.

The Time When Tawny Was Arrested

It seems like the Antle family always has a hard time staying out of controversy. Even Kody's sister has been involved in one.  She was arrested not too long ago. 

It happened just a year ago in 2021. She was arrested for illegally possessing a gun. She was arrested while she was driving a car with a man named Derek Justin Frost. He was also in a possession of a gun. Both of them were arrested as a result of it.

Who Is His Actual Sibling Tawny Antle?

Kody does have a sibling outside of his chimp brothers. He has a sister named Tawny Sky Antle. His sister is an entrepreneur and much like him also works at Myrtle Beach Safari.

Tawny calls herself the Jungle Queen. She has her own family outside of the animals. Her recent video on the gender reveal of her baby has made quite the rounds among people as it involves an elephant.
